Riddle whirled around to stare down the empty chamber.
里德爾猛地轉(zhuǎn)過身去，望著空蕩蕩的密室。
The music was growing louder.

it lifted the hair on Harry's scalp and made his heart feel as though it was swelling to twice its normal size.
它使哈利頭皮上的頭發(fā)都豎了起來，使他的心房脹大得有原來的兩倍。
Then, as the music reached such a pitch that Harry felt it vibrating inside his own ribs,

flames erupted at the top of the nearest pillar.
就在這時，最近的那根石柱頂上突然噴出了火焰。
A crimson bird the size of a swan had appeared, piping its weird music to the vaulted ceiling.
一只深紅色的鳥突然從天而降，有仙鶴那么大，在拱形的天花板上演奏著它那古怪的音樂。
It had a glittering golden tail as long as a peacock's and gleaming golden talons, which were gripping a ragged bundle.
它有一條金光閃閃的尾巴，像孔雀尾巴一樣長，還有一對金光閃閃的爪子，爪子上抓著一個破破爛爛的包裹。

It dropped the ragged thing it was carrying at his feet, then landed heavily on his shoulder.

As it folded its great wings, Harry looked up and saw it had a long, sharp golden beak and beady black eyes.
當(dāng)它收攏兩扇巨大的翅膀時，哈利抬起頭來，看見它有一個長長的、尖利的金喙和兩只亮晶晶的黑眼睛。
The bird stopped singing.

It sat still and warm next to Harry's cheek, gazing steadily at Riddle.
它靜靜地坐在哈利肩頭，熱乎乎地貼著哈利的面頰，目光堅定地注視著里德爾。
'That's a phoenix... ' said Riddle, staring shrewdly back at it.
“是一只鳳凰……”里德爾也同樣惡狠狠地瞪著它，說道。
'Fawkes?' Harry breathed, and he felt the bird's golden claws squeeze his shoulder gently.
“福克斯？”哈利吃驚得簡直喘不過氣來，感到大鳥的金爪子輕輕抓著他的肩膀。
